I have an applet (where the user logins) & on pressing login button I send the login details to my servlet. In my applet, the function responsible for sending the login details to the servelt & receiving the servlet response object FAILS.

I am using Apache 7.0. I think that receiving the response (getting the input stream) from the servlet fails but I dont know why & logging in was working fine the other day so I know my WEB-INF folder is set up fine & the web.xml is fine.
